| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? shadorne, i see what you are saying, i've read a lot of your posts on this topic, just two unversed to put 2 and 2 together. it just seemed like the speaker was able to do more spls when it was clipping (no noticeable harshness or distortion). it ... | |
| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? thank you again joelv, i must say that of everything written so far, and most all of it very useful, yours seems like the best answer to my original question, which is essentially: is this clipping to be expected, and you seem to be saying that it... | |
| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? "My numbers were supposed to be based on the general rule of 6db increments, not 3db, and for that, it obviously doesn't make sense that the amp is clipping." joelvnot sure why it doesn't make sense, could you elaborate for the technically challen... | |
| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? thanks everyone, i'm in touch with the speaker manufacturer and working on an amp solution. johnk, fyi, to repeat the speakers never sound hard or poor or even distorted before clipping, they sound very good and then they begin cutting off and bac... | |
| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? thanks again raphael, i think i see your point in that what makes the amp clip is a complex of the factors you mentioned, i.e., durations of peak voltage and current, heat dissipation, etc. trends audio sends no reference material with their cheap... | |
| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? thanks for the responses (rafael: thanks, the article was very interesting but a bit past my technical grasp of audiophilia and not quite to the point, but thanks, very useful for me overall though). it seems strange i would get no distortion, the... | |
| fritz loudspeakers cleaneduphippy,like anything else, some people love em and some, well, don't. but that's the way it is with any speaker or anything. personally i love them (fostex 167e) for the money ($350 last year from tekton design, now $450). sure they aren't... | |
| fritz loudspeakers haven't heard fritz's speaks, but they seem similar in design to some tekton designs, i own a pair with fostex 167e's, very simple basic and for the money also very hard to beat, i think simple, cheap, and effective is how to suck more people into... | |
| Subwoofer: How low should I go? i thought the rel, and some other subs, recommended running main speakers full range and simply running the sub high pass and using the on board sub xover to dial in the subs upper frequency cut off. for small, relatively well though out monitors,... | |
| cheap used transport vs cheaper cdp w/ digital out wow dar, that is good information, interesting as well,my budget is more towards a cal transport, but same as you i always just wanted a tank w/out malady, i just want to play music(and not waste money on a cdp when i only use the digital outs). l... | |
| Quad 57 stacked v Wilson watt puppy 6/7 mrtennis, my sincere apologies of trying to pick your post apart in order to make a largely irrelevant point. as you so rightly intimated, the relations between perception and fact is at best something for philosophy not audio sites.... not that m... | |
| Quad 57 stacked v Wilson watt puppy 6/7 mrtennis,just a quick, relatively unimportant comment, but trying to qualify the above statement with "it's all subjective" does not change the objectivistic tone and (at least implied) content of the claims that follow. this has to do with what t... | |
| Is there a decent used transport for under $300? thanks much kbuzz and everyone else, i think for now i'll shoot for a not too old CAL transport, i never heard anything to contradict that, at least not under the scenario i sketched out under the thread question, also the other recommendations we... | |
| Is there a decent used transport for under $300? these are more interesting suggestions...a question, does anyone think these stand alone players mentioned thus far are better than a CAL Delta dedicated transport?thanks again everybody | |
| Is there a decent used transport for under $300? thanks swampwalker, sorry but i wasn't sure which players you were referring to...i think the Rotel RDD 980 is a transport only unit as is the CAL Delta. i know my options are limited but i'm just trying to optimize my front-end approach to this b... |
